Poor Dean! My heart bled for him when I read his letter - it's so sad to see him feel like he was never good enough for Sam or John and that he placed more value on them than himself. But I think you have stuck true to his character and have done a lovely job with this chapter. Hope to read more from you!

In answer to your question - yes you should definitely keep on writing longer fics as well as shorter ones. Enjoyed this one as it explored the boys' feelings at different times - and how much they really do mean to each other, although they'd never want to admit it. Particularly liked Dean thinking back to the writing of the first letter - and Sam putting the letter back after he found it. Makes him a better person than I am!

Yes - definitely you should continue with the longer pieces as these 4 chapters testifies to your skill at writing a great story. The open letter to Sam from Dean if he had died was heartbreaking stuff, it spoke of so much love he has for his brother and the pain and guilt that he has carried around since his mother's death, believing his sole task in life was to protect his brother. It is such a pity that the Winchester men cannot speak to each other their true feelings, only keep them hidden written down in a sealed envelope. Beautiful haunting chapter. Please - need some more soon.

I really like your view of John - I've always thought of him more as someone struggling with an impossible situation who has been forced to make some difficult (and sometimes bad) decisions, rather than just the cruel soldier figure.

I still want to know what's in the letter! *grin* And possibly even Dean's diary...

Let's hope no one finds out what's in that envelope for a VERY long time!

I read through all the chapters because I wanted to get the whole thing. You've definitely got my curiosity up over what's in that envelope. I like the chapter with John. To many people write hims as a heartless bastard. I see him as someone who made some tough and not always right decisions that they have to live with.
